Summary
Reviewed by: Kelechi Benjamin Ugonna, Sheffield Children’s Hospital, United Kingdom Paolo Bottau, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale (AUSL) Imola, Italy.

We would like to propose enhanced barrier precautions for pediatric patients of almost all ages as soon as they enter the ambulatory setting.
